Mountain Biking and Hiking

Park City's abundant selection of hiking and mountain biking trails are great for all skill levels. We'll be running the Crescent Hi-Speed Quad which will get you to the top of Crescent Ridge in just minutes! PayDay Lift will accommodate these services on days when Crescent Lift is not scheduled to operate, plus (for season passholders) you can also access the Red Pine Gondola at Canyons Village! See our Operating Schedule for more details. Pick up or activate your 2017/2018 season pass and enjoy FREE scenic lift rides for the 2017 summer season! Please note that bike haul/bike park is not included in the scenic lift rides.

We align and support the Mountain Trails Foundation in the practice that E-Bikes may be used on hard surface trails/roads, but not on soft surface/roads. Accordingly, Bike Haul is not available for an E-Bike at Park City Mountain.

Need help exploring the abundant selection of trails? A detailed trail map is available at the ticket windows (provided by Mountain Trails Foundation) for a $5 donation.

NOTE: Due to continued EPA and United Park City Mines work, along with instillation of new snowmaking lines in the Treasure Hollow area of the Resort, there will be an interruption of Jenni’s Trail between Upper Loose Moose and Mid Mountain for the majority of the summer season. The same reroute that was used during the trail work last year will be used again and the reroute will be indicated at appropriate trail intersections. Updates will be made as they become available regarding reopening the trail. Thank you for your cooperation in adhering to this reroute to ensure safety to all riders and hikers. Please follow Mountain Trails on Facebook for the most up-to-date trail information.

Mountain bike rentals are available at Legacy Sports or Breeze Rentals in the Park City Base Area and Canyon Mountain Rentals in Canyons Village.

At 3.9 miles long, this scenic, mixed use trail intersects with Jenni’s and Mid Mountain. CMG is downhill bike only below the Jenni’s intersection and a recommended loop is to head up Jenni’s to the CMG intersection and then down CMG, creating a small, intermediate loop.

Jenni’s is available for hiking in both directions, but is uphill bike only until the CMG intersection where it is becomes usable for multidirectional biking. If you are biking down Jenni’s, you can take Loose Moose to lower CMG in order to get back to the base area.

Summer Safety

Avoid High Altitude Illness

The top of the resort is almost two miles above sea level!

Exercise in moderation.

Drink more water than usual. When you combine altitude with physical exertion, you need to drink before you get thirsty.

Eat food high in carbohydrates, such as grains, pasta, fruits and vegetables and avoid salty foods.

Limit alcohol consumption. Drinking alcohol and cheating yourself on sleep the night before you hike or bike is a big mistake. Use common sense.

Eat and drink before you hit the trail. Take extra water and high-energy food with you on the trail.

Dress Appropriately for Changing Weather

Wear adequate footgear with good arch, ankle support and non-skid soles.

Mountain weather may change at any time without warning. Thunder and lightning are very common. Be prepared for bad weather. Always carry extra, warm and waterproof clothing, including a hat.

Sunglasses are important not only for UV protection, but also protection from the wind which can make it hard to see objects around you.

Use Proper Skin Care Protection

Be sun savvy. Utah sunshine is so intense that being outdoors without sunscreen or protective eyewear is not recommended. Ultraviolet rays are more powerful at higher elevations.

Use sunglasses that have UV protection or are polarized.

Also, regardless of your skin color or complexion, everyone needs to wear sunscreen, even on overcast days when ultraviolet rays still penetrate cloud cover. Go for at least 15 SPF and apply several times a day. Look for broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays - we recommend Supergoop! sunscreen for innovative UV protection.
